Carl Schurz might not have been the most eminently fitted man to write the life of Henry Clay, but he has ac- quilted himself in very creditable manner. He has certain stiffness of style which, as a noted historian says. cannot be overcome by man who writes in language which he did not learn in his infancy. but his facts have been carefully harvested and are stored to good advantage. A life of Mir. SchurZ. written by Mr. Blaine, for instance. would be interesting. though it is not probable that SchuiZ would authorize its publication. One of the liveliest pictures in MT. Blaine's "Twenty Years in Congress" is n crayon dash at the noted German.
 A man should preserve every idea that occurs to him: for. in the years to come, he may find that these little pennies of thought may go far in form ing the great dollar of life. Some men of active thought forget quickly. This should be guarded against. We should forget nothing. no matter how small. One of the prophets-if it were not one of the prophets it was Shakespeare or some one else--said that if we take care of the small thoughts the large thoughts will take care of themselves. This is encouraging. and every thinking man should regard it as having been addressed directly to him or at feast to one of his friends or some one else. Forgetfulness-for- getting the good. but unfortunately remembering the bad, is doing much toward making this country misera- ble Expenditures and Italian and Scandinavian immigration are not good for the American government. Horace Greeley-we believe it was Horace Greedy, but it really makes no difference-said that torgetfulness was the horse thief of time That was a very strong expression in its day. mind you, and had large sworn cir culation. Henry Clay said: 'Remem- bering we stand forgetting we fall" He knew. Henry Clay did. He knew how much he owed to the recollection of little things. "Show me man who forgets to pay his little debts" says Herbert Spencer, and I will show you a man who eats dried-apple pie" He could do it, too, Spencer could, for he is a very handy man when itteomes to proving anything.

Several works bearing unique titles,
written IN fascinating style, and Civ

the reading public with much popu

Perhaps the most striking Of them
is the book bearing the odd title o
"She." In this the author has fairly

is a fit climax to the fine creation.
The question naturally suggested by
this strikingly original story is wheth-
err there is not somewhere in nature,
a potent force whereby life may at
least be temporarily prolonged.

Human life seems too short, though
men in former ages lived longer than
those OF the present, History tells US
that they lived more in accordance
with natures laws-their mode of liv.
ing was extremely simple, and in their
daily life they followed the dictates Of
human intelligence.
If sickness comes, we of to-day, seek
the remedy among the artificial forces
instead OF resorting to the field of ma.
ture.
If when diseases come, we would
consult nature, the chances are that
we would fare better, for We would
then treat the cause OF such dis
orders. Modern research has shown
that most OF the commonly known
diseases owe their origin to the I'm.

Feeling the Enemy.

Col. William w. Lang, the counsel
at Hamburg, has a characteristic rem
iniscence Of Southern fighting meth
DDS during the rebellion. Col. Greene,
of Texas, was q dashing, lnvlncible
cavalry officer, who rushed precipi-
lately into battle without any plans
or preconceived notions. He had q
simple way Of firing his command
with reckless enthusiasm. Whenever
old Greene tugged his wide:brimmed
hat down over his eyes and shouted,
"Boys, / want a few volunteers"
every one knew it was to do
or die. In anticipation of
Gen. Wetzel's march from
New Orleans to Port Hudson with
1000 troops and supplies for the re-
lief of the beleaguered garrison. Col.
Lang secuted the intermediate coun-
try and. with Gen. Taylor, OF the con-
federate infantry, planned an intercept
ton and battle. Greene was called to
the council and ordered to move out
with his 1900 cavalry to Mool' the
advancing Unionists and then re.
treat and draw them into an ambush
Of 4, 1000 infantry and artillery. The
intrepid Texan, unaccustomed to
this kind of warfare, upon receiving
the orders scratched his head resent
fully, though he finally obeyed with
out any uttered protest. His COM
mand ON that memorable occasion
was q detected well, come along,
boys" There wa more of thefuneral
than the martial air in the advance,
but alter having got beyond the
sight OF headquarters q change came
over the spirits of the column. Greene
halted and made this addess: "Boys,
/ want, q lew volunteers" One long,
loud shout answered him. When they
came il sight Of the Unionists q wild,
sweeping charge was made with Greene
in the lead, and Wetzel and his entire
command were captured, while Taylor
was complacently waiting for the ex-
pected victory Of his ambuscade. The
success Of Greene's mpetuosity
could not appease Taylor's anger and
disappointment, however.
"You have disobeyed youah aw.
dahs, sab" said he. 81 told you
plainly to only feel the enemy

Slow Arnenical PoIsonlng.

/ have read a.great deal in the papers

they were brought home to me- My
wife, who had been remarkable for her
rugged health and rosy appearance, began
to fade away. She dwindled to a mere
shadow, and yet she reiterated statements
of good health. Finally, / insisted on
calling in doctor of high standing, after
an emphatic protest from our regular
physician. A long diagnosis decided that
my wife was suffering from arsenical
poisoning drawn into the system from a
cheap set of false teeth, which had been
purchased about a week before the first
symptoms of weakness had been observed.
Arsenic had been used in the enamel to
secure the glittering whiteness so much
admired by women, and in the process of
mastication small particles had been alb
sorbed in the food and taken into the
stomach, where the ;nsidious work of
destruction was progressing surely to a
fatal termination. l don't know how
many cases of the kind may exist, but

men were bafIled in their attempted dag
nosis, would not be surprised if thou
